I hope I'm on Chael_Sonnen's Team too. Wait a minute I just hope I make the house.

Just a few hours away and I'm actually pretty pumped for this. The 2 hr fights to get into the house are always good. We at least get to see a bunch of fights.

Leo Bercier has some legit power but as a brawler it seems his chin isn't 100% but neither was Diego Brandaos...

Chances? I'd say low to Brandao if I was doing that season again and he went on to win it... Will he win, doubt it, will he make it out the first round? I'm gonna say he'll land a bomb. 50-55%

So according to my chances 12 people are going out... Despite there being 14 matchups...

Well according to DirtyBlueJeans I have a slightly better than 50% chance of making the house. Actually slightly higher considering you have 12 people going out while there are 14 fights. So that puts me closer to 60%

Honestly though I think the favorites in no particular order are; Tor Treong (jjeans), Robert McDaniel (FastKO), and Zak Cummings (FF47).

Good luck everyone and enjoy.

Without rumours etc the ones to watch (not in an entertaining way, as in successful) are:

Nik FeteteJimmy QuinlanRobert McDaniel Uriah HallsZak Cummings

My Dark Horses would beTor TreongGilbert SmithMike Jasper

But Tor "might" be the guy who wins the show... Again I'm only going off research.

Cummings made quick work of Fekete. Really excited for his chance to make some waves on this show.

Bring it home for Sonnen tattflash!

Could not be happier about Tor being on Team Sonnen, I don't think I could support anyone on Team Jones as much

That was a great way to start off the season. There were a lot of guys that looked impressive. Chael was funny, Dana wasn't too annoying, the fights were good (From what we saw that is...) and my fighter made it through. I'm excited for the rest of the season and that's an improvement from last season.

Uriah Hall looked awesome. I'm glad they showed most of that fight. He looked well rounded with some very accurate striking. He's also on Team Sonnen

The next fight should be good. The wrestler vs. the really tall dude. I think Jones might take the W. Sonnen's guy could definitely take it late though. He has the better cardio.

I don't know what the hell people are seeing in Luke Barnatt.. I'll be rooting for him as he's Team Sonnen but it was a weird first pick!

What do they all have in common? They are all Team Sonnen He has the much stronger team imo.

I also think Jones made a mistake with the first match up. Pitting the smallest guy with the worst cardio against the tallest guy with the best cardio?

Agree & SUPER agree! Team Sonnen has next weeks fight in the bag. I think I'd be rooting for Sonnens team even if my fighter wasn't on it. Its just better. & I actually found myself liking Sonnen in the episode! He came in & started chatting up Bones like they were good pals while Bones was trying too hard to play it cool. What I really enjoyed was the overall feel of the episode. Maybe it was just my new super high-def flatscreen but the show felt very polished & professional this time around. I loved how they showed the fighters before & after there fights. It almost had a documentary feel to it.
